POWERED VOICE
Psalm 29

Psalm 29 describes the voice of God: “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars…” (29:3-5) Can you identify if He has been sounding in your direction? God cannot say it wrong and none can testify wrong in His voice. The Psalmist continues: “The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth…” (Psalm 29:7-9) Do you imagine what is it behind the voice of God that makes it so powerful? Inside the voice of God inhabits the very Word of God. The Word God is creative; the Word of God is deliverance and the Word of God is preservation. The Bible records: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-2) The Word that has been sounding in your direction through the pages of Bible is the Word of God. The Word of God is God and God is His Word. What is it that is leading you in your ways? Indeed your ways might seem right, but they are wrong. The only way that is right is the way of God. The way of God is life and it is truth. When we begin to listen to the Word of God, we will undoubtedly walk away from the way of death. God is not a slave master; He is a saving Master for anyone who will listen to His Word. The Word of God states in Psalm 32:8-9, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle…” God wants the best for all of His creation who will take a rest in the instruction and the direction of God that leads every obedient one to be under the guidance of the eye of God. Through Abraham’s life, every instruction and direction of God that sounded in his direction made Abraham to become what the Lord called him to be. Abraham listened and walked in no way that seem right to him but rather only in the way of God. Abraham was identified by God as a friend of God because he lived a life of obedience. To live life under the instruction and direction of God is by a grace that needs to be constantly desired.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to live a life of obedience to His instruction and direction.
